OpenAI Announces GPT-5, Limited Integration with Apple Intelligence
OpenAI launched its GPT-5 AI model on August 8, 2025. However, users will not have access to it through Apple Intelligence’s ChatGPT integration until the release of iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS Tahoe 26, as confirmed by Apple.
Currently, Apple Intelligence leverages OpenAI’s GPT-4o model for services, including various responses to Siri inquiries and functionalities associated with Apple’s Visual Intelligence feature. Apple has indicated that its substantial software updates are expected this fall, likely next month. Inquiries have been made about whether GPT-5 will be available in the developer or public betas of these updates.
Following its release, GPT-5 is accessible to all ChatGPT users, even those utilizing the free tier. OpenAI reports approximately 700 million people engage with ChatGPT on a weekly basis.
As AI technology continues to advance, the integration of enhanced models such as GPT-5 into popular platforms like Apple’s could significantly reshape user interactions with digital assistants. The implications for both developers and end-users will unfold as this technology becomes widely available, reports 24brussels.
